Let the show begin.....Referee Tom Hennings whistles the beginning of the match. Mourinho opted for the duo Ibrahimovic-Adriano while Julio Cruz is listed among the subs along Amantino Mancini.
In the 7th minute, an early sign from Inter showing they want to win this match in the first half. Midfielder Sulley Muntari sends an assist to defender Maicon. Bad thing guys it is blocked!
In the 31st minute, Inter forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic missed a chance to open the score. Midfielder Esteban Cambiasso sends Zlatan an assist and guess what Ibra shoots from the center of the box sending the ball too high.
First half ends without goals.
Incredible guys, Inter not finding the road to score. Yet, in the 68th minute, a moment of silence at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. Jose Sarriegi blasts Inter goalkeeper Julio Cesar from close range.
FC Internazionale 0 - 1 Panathinaikos
wow, you bet Inter fans are mad with Mourinho! Inter losing at home with all their stars. Anyway, Inter must be thanking Anarthosis for ending the match with a draw against Werder. It means that even with this lost Inter qualifies to the next round still leading the group with 8 points followed by Panathinaikos with 7 points.
